lyrics

Ol Reuben made a train & he put it on a track
He rode it to the Lord knows where
Oh me, oh my rode it to the Lord knows where

I've been to the East, Lord I've been to the West
I've been where the chilly winds don't blow
Oh me, oh my I've been where the chilly winds don't blow

Well I got myself a blade, and laid Reuben in the shade,
I'm startin' up a graveyard of my own.
Oh, me, oh my, I'm startin' up a graveyard of my own.

Well the train that I ride is 100 coaches long
You can hear the whistle blow 100 miles
Oh me, oh my you can hear the whistle blow 100 miles
